Episode 176. Freedom
“what…!?”

“Me, it’s me!!”

Joo Chang-ik and Ahn Su-hwan’s reactions were worth watching.

As it was, he spoke in An Su-hwan’s voice.

“There is another An Su-hwan, is there any need to keep him alive?”

“… … Even the voice is the same.”

“You, you, you… you! What the hell have you done!!!!”

An Su-hwan, who had become noisy, was given a muzzle again.

“Ah, no… please I don’t want to die… Whew! Woof woof!”

It was annoying that he kept writhing around next to me, but it wasn’t a big problem.

I looked straight at Joo Chang-ik.

“How about this, isn’t it okay? If necessary, I can pretend to be An Su-hwan.”

“… You were hiding this ability. Is it a unique trait?”

“It’s a secret.”

I did reveal “Polymorph” out of necessity, but honestly, I didn’t really want to reveal anything more than that.

Joo Chang-ik, who had been thinking for a moment, asked a question.

“If you have that kind of ability, wouldn’t it have been better to transform into someone like El Gaia and cause chaos?”

The question is whether it would be easier to bring down the Gaia Cult if he were to transform into ‘El Gaia’, known as the prophet and founder of the Gaia Cult.

“If possible, I have already done so. Of course, there are limitations. At this point, the only person I can imitate is Ahn Soo-hwan.”

“… What a pity.”

The skill penalty was inflated and announced.

There are still some magic pattern storage slots left, but there is no need to reveal them.

‘It might be okay to just know this.’

Besides, it was true that only An Su-hwan could actually transform into a “polymorph”.

Because of the constraint of having to be in contact for 30 seconds, it was not easy to follow the person’s magical power pattern without their cooperation.

Well, in Ahn Soo-hwan’s case, he took advantage of my kindness and deceived me.

anyway.

“If you have this skill, it would definitely be better. Thanks to you, it helped me a lot.”

“Is that so?”

“Actually, kidnapping Iza wasn’t part of the plan.”

Joo Chang-ik seemed to have let go of some of his suspicions about me and explained the situation a little more.

“This guy, Eun-tak Choi, was causing me a headache because he impulsively kidnapped her.”

As it turns out, kidnapping Ahn Su-hwan wasn’t intentional at all.

As a result, I had to take the unnecessary risk of having the group’s existence revealed, but I was able to resolve that without any worries.

“Thank you, Hunter Kim Yu-jin.”

“you’re welcome.”

He opened his mouth and answered calmly.

“So is the test over now?”

“You noticed.”

“Of course.”

“… I apologize for my rudeness. Congratulations on joining the Anti-Gaia Alliance and Liberty.”

Liberty.

”Freedom”… … .’

I thought it was an appropriate name.

Those Gaia Cult guys are the ones who suppress human free will.

by the way.

“There is something that needs to be corrected.”

“what?”

Joo Chang-ik looked at me with a puzzled look.

I spoke to him point by point.

“Did I join Liberty, or did I ally with Liberty?”

“… … .”

I won’t go down, so treat me as an equal.

Joo Chang-ik answered, sticking out his tongue.

“That’s incredibly thorough.”

“Shouldn’t this be done precisely?”

“I won’t deny it.”

He who gave such rave reviews.

Then, negotiations began.

“Still, we’ve been together for twenty years. Our bond is strong. Even if you dragged in the magic tower, wouldn’t it be difficult to assert your leadership to that extent?”

“Is that so?”

“So come under the name of Liberty.”

Joo Chang-ik still insisted that I come under him.

‘That can’t be.’

“Honestly, I think the power I have secured with just one Magic Tower is more than enough.”

“That’s true, but still─”

“And, it’s not just the magic tower that’s being dragged in.”

“… Let me talk.”

“Fate Guild, Blacksmith Guild, Gold and Silver Group.”

“…!”

“How about this?”

“Hmm.”

“Honestly, there is more, but do you need it?”

“… … .”

Joo Chang-ik kept his mouth shut.

He also seemed to fully realize that there was some truth to what I said.

Okay, now.

‘Shall we try driving a wedge?’

It was time to spill some of the beans on the plans we were currently working on.

“Recently, we are preparing to establish a Hunter Association.”

“Hunter Association?”

“Yes. Based on that, we plan to establish a front to oppose the Gaia Cult.”

“But wouldn’t that just be an organization for the interests of hunters?”

“Well, if there is no other way, then it ends there.”

“…?”

Joo Chang-ik couldn’t read the hidden intentions in my words.

“Have you forgotten what abilities I have?”

“What are you talking about?”

I said this while pointing at An Su-hwan, who was still struggling beside me.

“What would happen if I criticized the Hunter Association in the guise of An Su-hwan?”

“!!”

okay.

Now we can talk about it.

“Then, we will have a justification and basis to openly oppose the Gaia Church.”

“Hmm.”

He threw a carrot there to give to Joo Chang-ik.

This was also one of the ways I thought of using Joo Chang-ik.

“I would like you to serve as the first president of the Hunter Association.”

“… President of the Hunter Association?”

Joo Chang-ik is smiling brightly.

“Yes. Wouldn’t it be better to draw than me doing it?”

We did need a pants president.

Asking Joo Chang-ik to take on the role of the pants president.

“Okay, definitely.”

This wasn’t a bad suggestion for Joo Chang-ik either.

Because while you’re the president of the company, you’ll also be able to hold visible power.

and.

“If the Gaia Church is destroyed, the Hunter Association will take control of the Hunter industry.”

“… Have you thought about it that far?”

“Yes. Do as you wish.”

“Hmm?”

The Joo Chang-ik I saw was not someone who was simply running with the goal of revenge against the Gaia Church.

Maybe it’s in the plans for the future too.

But to me, it didn’t really matter.

“I just need to get revenge. Well, I hope you treat me appropriately afterwards.”

“… If that’s the case.”

There is a need to fight for the initiative right now.

I wanted to do whatever I wanted, even to the point of destroying the church.

But what happens after that?

‘There’s no need to cause conflict over something you don’t want.’

“How is this okay?”

Joo Chang-ik understood what I said exactly.

There is no need for us to fight back.

“… You are qualified.”

“It’s good that we can communicate well.”

This has allowed us to form a united front.

It was a win-win situation, very useful to both parties.

“Please take care of me in the future.”

“It’s me.”

“Eww!”

In that place where we were united, An Su-hwan’s pitiful scream echoed.

【Eugene. Are you going to fight them properly now?】

“It will happen soon.”

On the way back home after gaining a lot.

I’ve re-planned my future.

This was the biggest topic.

‘If we borrow the power of Liberty… is it possible to immediately launch an all-out war against the Gaia Cult?’

After much thought, I came to a conclusion.

‘possible!’

All-out war with the church?

I think it’s worth a try.

of course.

‘It might not be easy if we go all the way to the religious headquarters…’

It is true that it would be a great burden to have to fight all the forces of the Gaia Church in one room.

However, if we are going to create a ‘Hunter Association’ and fight anyway, we can limit the preliminary battle to Korea.

So what’s left?

‘Until the plan goes through, spec up.’

The creation of a Hunter’s Association takes time.

We’ve gathered all the necessary forces, but time is essential for various preparations and media play.

How can I become stronger?

I decided to think about it.

‘I have already achieved the 7-star level.’

7 star hunter.

I have already done it.

After a month of intense training at a special training center, I was able to fully utilize my newly acquired strength.

‘The 8-star level is still far away…’

I didn’t think that my level would improve if I practiced for a few more days.

In this situation, the best thing for short-term spec-up was items.

“I wonder what happened to what Keldwick was making?”

Naturally, my thoughts turned to the legendary items that Keldwick was making for me.

“Dragon Lair.”

Woohoo-

That’s why I visited Keldwick, who was happily running an item production factory by opening “Dragon Lair”.

“Keldwick.”

“Oh! Is the Master here?”

“Is the item production going well?”

“that is….”

But, for some reason, he trails off.

“What is it?”

“It’s almost done. About 90% done.”

“Good. So you were making a necklace?”

“Yes. However… .”

“?”

“Ha. No. It’s just my greed, huh?”

Keldwick sighed as the ground gave out.

“Tell me. I’ll help you if I can.”

“Actually, the core of the necklace has already been made.”

“But?”

“There is not enough material to handle the power of this core.”

“Hmm.”

“Of course, it can be completed as it is now. It should be easy to receive a legend rating.”

First, I confirmed that I had acquired a legendary necklace.

“So, if you just have that material, you can aim for a Legend rank or higher?”

“yes.”

“What? It’s not like I can’t get it.”

“…I can’t save you.”

Keldwick shook his head firmly.

“It’s a rare material even on the continent of Repos. I’ve never even heard of it being discovered here on Earth.”

“What is it?”

“Mithril.”

He continued his explanation with an expression on his face as if he was recalling his lost first love.

“It’s a metal that is very rarely created in places where magical power overflows. If you have just this, the performance of your items will greatly increase, but it’s not difficult.”

“… It’s Mithril.”

“Yes. It’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do. I have no choice but to finish it as it is. It probably won’t take more than a few days─”

I interrupted him and summoned one of the golems I had.

Knock knock.

Boom─!

《 Guardian – Mithril Golem 》

Overall combat level: 5.88

Features: Autonomous combat, self-repair, dedicated subspace, overclocking

Current remaining power: 100%

Current status: Overclocked (estimated battle time – 50 minutes)

Master: Do Yu-jin

In the past, it was a mithril golem that was obtained together with the “Tenauzes System”.

“Is this the Mithril?”

“… …!? W, WHAT…! This much Mithril!!!!!”

Keldwick is startled.

He could tell what the golem’s body was made of just by looking at it.

It was indeed a dwarf race, an artisan race.

“I see. The name is Mithril Golem, so I was hoping.”

“Oh my goodness! I’ve never seen this much Mithril even in the continent of Repos! Where did the Master get this!?”

“That’s, um… .”

“No. No, that’s not important right now! Can I handle this Mithril!?”

“yes.”

He answered immediately.

That’s what I brought it up for in the first place.

As my level increased, the Mithril Golem gradually lost its usefulness.

‘It would be nice if it could be of some use.’

Instead of using the Mithril Golem, which doesn’t really help much, I thought it would be better if I could use it to strengthen legendary items that would increase my own combat power.

“Oh, ohhhhh! Master!!!!!”

Keldwick seemed overcome with emotion and tried to hug me.

Shock.

“Ugh!”

Avoided.

I don’t want to hug a sweaty guy.

“Anyway, please complete the necklace with this. Can I expect it to perform well?”

“Of course!!!”

good.

With this, one of the spec-up issues has been resolved.

“By the way, is there anything else you can make with the remaining Mithril? Of course, I can make it into an item you need!”

“Rather, I would like to ask you a favor.”

“Ohhhhh!”

Whether he just wanted to make a good item or not, Keldwick was really excited.

Well… it seemed like I wouldn’t have to worry about the item issue anymore.

After throwing the Mithril Golem to Keldwick like that.

Another piece of good news has arrived.

“Are you Hunter Kim Yu-jin?”

“Who are you?”

“I, the dungeon broker─”

“Ah. Tell me.”

In the past, he was a dungeon broker who had scammed Shin Chae-ri.

After the real education, I was instructed to find the dungeon I needed.

“I found the dungeon you asked for!”

“oh.”

It was good news.

To meet the conditions required to upgrade the ‘Frost Giant Leather Jacket’ I am currently wearing to Legendary grade.

You had to enter the ‘Frost Giant Habitat’ through the ‘Troll King’s Cursed Club’.

Its prerequisite is a 6-star Ita dungeon with a forest + ice terrain.

It was a call that a dungeon suitable for those conditions had been found.

“So, where are you?”

“Yes! This is Taebaek, Gangwon-do!”

“Taebaek….”

It wasn’t that close.

Well, distance wasn’t a big problem.

“But I… I found it, but there’s one problem… .”

“What is it?”

“I don’t know why, but I think a group of knights from the Gaia Church will try to raid the dungeon─”

“what?”

There was just a problem that a conflict event with the religious sect members seemed likely to occur.

‘No. It’s not a problem anymore?’

Well, that was actually a good thing.
